If your baby is a good chewer you can start introducint "regular" food right now. I started my daughter with fish at 6 months. She loves it. It is soft enough for a start up chew food. You should get some of the baby puffs, they disovle very easily and teach your baby to grab and chew food. But they can eat what you eat except for certain things like cow's milk, peanut butter and things like that which I'm sure you know about. But you can start feeding him chicken, fish, noodles, rice, veggies, fruit, some bread etc. It's all good! My daugher eats all of these things and she loves it. Much better than pureed baby food :)
